The previous posting of a recycle EPS with a 
COPYRIGHT message brings to mind a question that
has been puzzling me.....

IF the EPS file was based on a scanned recycle logo from 
some copyrighted source...

What portion is really the copyright of the submittor?

I know that merely transfering a copyrighted item to
another medium does not free it from the prior copyright.

2) IF the original recycle logo is a trademark and has been
   placed into the public domain, can the submittor claim
   any portion of the copyright?
